"Of course, when he gets back his sight he'll find out that is, Miss Dorothy, he IS going to get it back, ain't he?" Susan's own face now had become a little white and strained-looking. Miss Dorothy shook her head. "I don't know, Susan; but I'm afraid." "Afraid!
And yet" she thrust her face, pinched and strained-looking, into his "and yet I shall do it. I'd take that sin or any other on my conscience for the sake of Tim."

Once in a while she would turn her strained-looking face over her shoulder, glancing back, with the frank eyes of an enemy, at her fellow-citizens labouring along the trail.

"'What is it? and in the face of a record like that!" cried his father sternly. "That's exactly what I want to know. What is it?

"He does. Oh! I'm quite appreciated, I assure you." Tim made no reply, but stared out of the window. The car rounded the corner into Park Lane; in another moment they would reach their destination. Suddenly he turned to her, his face rather strained-looking. "And the other man? Have you met him yet at Monkshaven?" There was no mistaking his meaning. Sara's eyes met his unflinchingly.
